Lesson

Developmental Tasks and
Challenges of Adolescence
In this lesson, we will be focusing on the tasks and challenges that you
experienced during your adolescence stage. Adolescence is the period
of development that begins at puberty and ends at emerging adulthood. During
puberty stage, there are changes that occur in the body of a child. It is a natural
process that everyone goes through. Remember when you started to notice the rapid
changes in your body? Mostly resulted to your being self-conscious and being overly
emotional. Sometimes, you would want to be accepted and be “in”, but at times, you
would want to be just left alone. These adjustments are part of developmental
changes during adolescence stage -- the time when a child transitions in terms of
physiology and cognition to fulfil a new role as an emerging adult.
We will walk along with you to discover yourself as you take the journey to the
stage of becoming a responsible individual. Knowledge and understanding to oneself
is the key to overcome the challenges in this period of your life. With guidance,
assurance, and a better understanding of the process, you will have an easier time
transitioning yourself in this extraordinary developmental stage.
What’s In
In Module 4, you learned that life is full of challenges. Nonetheless, what
matters is how you manage and overcome the challenges that you encounter in your
life. This may be difficult, but learning to accept these difficulties may lead you in
the right directions. Your thoughts, feelings, and behavior toward a situation are
reflection of yourself as a person. Moreover, dealing with circumstances makes you
become a better individual.
Read and express your thoughts, feelings,
following situations. Write your answers in your notebook.

John is an active member of school organizations. He has a lot of talents to share
and ideas to contribute to their club. Aside from that, he is known for his looks, neatness,
and tidiness. However, these seemingly likeable characteristics became the reasons that
many get envious and try to create rumors and gossips about him. This hurt him so much
that he almost wanted to drop from schooling

Erica is a Grade 11 student. Like any other girls she is sociable and have a lot of
friends in school. She is just an average student, but having a crush on her top one
classmate urged her to spend late nights studying to keep up with him. However, all her
efforts still fell short and she did not make it to the cut of students with honors. Because
of this, she developed an eating disorder that caused her to lose huge weight. She also
started to have breakouts. With these, the then friendly Erica became aloof and selfconscious.

What’s New
“Who are you?' said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening
for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at
present-- at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must
have been changed several times since then.' What do you mean by that?' said
the Caterpillar sternly. `Explain yourself!'
`I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice,
`because I'm not myself, you see.'
`I don't see,' said the Caterpillar.
`I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly,' Alice replied very politely, `for I can't
understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is
very confusing.'

Alice in Wonderland-Lewis Carroll
Adolescence is defined as the period between the normal onset of puberty
and the beginning of adulthood. In the Oxford English Dictionary, the origin of the
word adolescence was from late Middle English (as a noun) and was derived via
French from Latin adolescent, which means ‘coming to maturity’. Other derivation
of the word the same origin is adolescere, from ad- ‘to’ + alescere ‘grow, grow up’,
from alere ‘nourish’.
The transition period between childhood and early adulthood is quite difficult.
This is the most crucial stage because this is the time when teens start defining
themselves. Remember, however, that each adolescent’s experiences, individual
changes, and growth vary.

The following illustrations show a boy and a girl adolescent. Let one represent
you and recall the challenges you have experienced during your adolescence stage.

What is It
Developmental Challenges of Adolescence
Adolescence is the transition period between childhood and early adulthood–
the most rapid stage of human development. According to World Health Organization
(WHO), it is a period of life with specific health and development needs and rights. It
is also a time to develop knowledge and skills, learn to manage emotions and
relationship, and acquire attributes and abilities that will be important for enjoying
the adolescent years and assuming adult roles.
Cambridge Dictionary defines developmental as relating to the process of
growing or changing into a more advance, larger and stronger form, while challenges
is defined as something that needs great mental or physical effort in order to be
done successfully and therefore tests a person's ability. The challenges the
adolescents are facing occur during the development of his/her biological, cognitive,
and physiological, spiritual and moral aspects.

Module 5
Developmental Tasks of Adolescence
In the eight stages of Psychosocial Developmental Theory of Erik Erikson,
Identity vs. Role Confusion (this stage is the age between 12 to 18 years old) explains
that adolescents would try to explore and figure out their own identity and try to fit
in with social interactions at the same time. According to Erikson, an adolescent’s
main task is developing a sense of self. Adolescents struggle with questions “Who am
I?” and “What do I want to do with my life?” Most of the adolescents try to explore
various roles and ideas and look for a place where they can fit, set goals, and attempt
to discover themselves.
As an adolescent who is entering the stage of adulthood, you are responsible
for your own being. Accepting yourself and ensuring your body’s physical health help
you build stronger personality and sense of identity. Likewise, building a strong
relationship with your family and showing affection and respect to others can
improve interactions with them. Establishing social responsibility, moreover,
develops personal and moral values to guide you on how to react to social issues.
Entering adulthood is undeniably a big challenge. At this stage of your life,
your family, your school, and your community contribute to prepare you
in this life-changing task. You should, in turn, need to be emotionally prepared since
you would need to choose people whom you think would help you fulfill these tasks
in order for you to reach you goals in life
Some years ago, Professor Robert J. Havighurst of the University of Chicago
proposed that stages in human development can best be thought of in terms of the
developmental tasks that are part of the normal transition. In his developmental
tasks theory, he stressed out that when people successfully accomplish the
developmental tasks at a stage, they feel pride and satisfaction. He defines
developmental task as a task that arises at or about a certain period in life,
unsuccessful achievement of which leads to inability to perform tasks associated
with the next period or stage in life.
Havighurst identified eleven Developmental Tasks of Normal Adolescence
associated with the adolescent transition. However, he believes that adolescence do
not progress through these multiple developmental tasks separately because
adolescence tasks may vary with early, middle, and late periods of the transition.
Developmental Tasks of Adolescence
Early Adolescence
➢ Developing selfconcept
➢ Self-evaluation of
their physical
acceptability
➢ Achieving personal
independence
Middle Adolescence
Late Adolescence to
Early Adult Life
➢ Emergence of new
thinking skills
➢ Accepting one's
physique
➢ Increase self-direction
➢ Achieving
psychological
independence
➢ Preparing adult life
➢ Crystallize their
vocational goals
➢ Establish sense of
personal identity
➢ Psychologically
independent from their
parents
